Season VI Welcome
Season V introduced a popular new feature: the Spit Box. We hope to continue the tradition of adopting exciting new features in Season VI with…Home Team Trading! Every year, the Analysts have contributed to the competition and enjoyment of the World Football Trifecta League by inventing new strategies to Win, Place, or Show (and pocket some of the Purse!). This season, The Clearinghouse and The Bookie have approved the concept of Home Team Trades before week 17 of the regular season. A Home Team Trade is when two or more Analysts swap Home Teams currently Claimed during a Quaternary Crown Race*.
The Rules are A) the terms of the trade must be made known in full to the League and B) trade terms that violate the spirit of the competition will be rejected and ignored on all Racing Forms. Rule A means that all other Analysts will know what Analysts gave up in the trade (aside from Home Teams). Rule B means that Analysts may NOT trade any element that directly effects the racing results such as Correct Picks, Trifectas, Trifecta Points, etc., etc., etc. Rule A will be enforced by The Bookie in consultation with The Clearinghouse. Rule B will be applied at the discretion of The Clearinghouse in consultation with The Bookie.
*NOTE: Un-Claimed teams may not be part of the trades. Changing Home Teams Between Races is governed by the General Rules.
Season VI Racing Form
In Season VI, as described in the Season Preparations, all Analysts are required to release Claims to Home Teams for the prior season. With the addition of two new Analysts, and no retirements, no less than 13 Analysts will compete in Season VI of the World Football Trifecta League! Each Analyst has been assigned a Claims number based on their Season V performance for Analyst of the Year, while the two new Analysts were assigned Claims numbers based on the order of the submission of their entry forms. The numbers are:
- The Strategist
- Craft Brew
- Big Tuna
- Roxy Trot
- Jimmy V*
- B-Reezy*
- Wise Orangutan
- Little Tuna
- Sponge Mom
- The Bookie
- Atwork
- Woody
- KateTDid
At 8:00pm on August 21, 2019, a random sequence of the numbers from 1 to 13 determined the Claims Box Order to start Season VI.
